Hmmmm, what happened to the free version? Looks like this plugin has gone commercial with version 2.0. Does anyone know where to get the CS4 1.0.10 version (pre-commercial version)?

Note: Color2Gray 2.0.1 is available on our web site – it fixes some occasional crashes when handing documents with broken links…

@Janetra: Well, web sites go down, and then come back again. (It does appear to be down at the moment.) Nothing wrong the company itself.

Just downloaded and awesome plugin.
I was selecting groups of images to do in one hit.
and it did..
Although i found one every now and then didnt change.
(im not sure why they are ALL jpgs).
But it has saved me days of changing pictures.

@Lautent: Merci. I agree that this would be much better if InDesign had this functionality.

Hello,

C’est vraiment dommage que ce raccourci très pratique de transformation d’une image couleur en noir et blanc sur Xpress n’ai pas été réalisé par Adobe pour Indesign.
Naturellement des gadget sont possibles mais en natif cela serait plus stable
Bravo pour vos travaux

I’ve worked with it and it’s great, it converts them to grayscale using only K (black) channel, so it’s perfect for one single (also spot) color press output.

Jeanna, make sure you have the most recent version, and make sure you’re attempting this on a bitmapped image, such as a TIFF or JPEG. It won’t work on AI or EPS or PDF files.
